About Doncaster East
Doncaster East is an established leafy suburb of 31,000 in Manningham, occupying hilly terrain 18 kilometres northeast of Melbourne's CBD. Though lacking direct rail access, buses connect to Box Hill station and the Eastern Freeway provides road access to the city. The suburb features larger blocks, mature gardens, and increasing Asian-Australian influence as families seek alternatives to busier Glen Waverley.
The Jackson Court and Devon Plaza shopping centres serve daily needs, while Westfield Doncaster is nearby for major retail. The terrain rises towards the Dandenongs, offering leafy streets and established homes on larger blocks. Doncaster East attracts established families, often Chinese-Australian, seeking quality homes with gardens, good schools, and a quieter alternative to more intense neighbouring suburbs while maintaining access to Asian-Australian community and dining.
Doncaster East falls under postcode 3109 and is governed by Manningham Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Bulleen (North-Eastern Metropolitan) electorate.
